Ingredients

  • 1 (16.25 ounce) package white cake mix

  • 1 ¼ cups water

  • ½ cup caramel ice cream topping

  • cup oil

  • 3 large eggs

  • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided

  • 2 pints heavy whipping cream

  • ½ cup brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon turbinado sugar (such as Sugar in the Raw®), or to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners.

  2. Mix cake mix, water, caramel topping, oil, eggs, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract in large bowl with mixer on medium speed or beat vigorously by hand, about 2 minutes. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 14 to 19 minutes. Cool in the tins for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 20 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile, mix whipping cream and brown sugar together with an electric mixer until sugar has dissolved. Add remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla and continue mixing until peaks appear in the cream.

  5. Frost cooled cupcakes and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
